Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025
Has stayed near the 80th percentile since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “45% proficient” and call it done. Weimar Hills deserves a closer read. One in three of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: +23.9pp separates this year's grade 6 from its grade 8. The state average rises 0.1pp over the same span. Following the school's returning cohort from 2023 G6 → 2025 G8 points the same way.
374 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · cohort of 70 tracked
Weimar Hills scores 52 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 80th percentile of 2,177 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 45% meet the standard today, versus 58% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25
California's own growth model splits here — the 26th percentile in reading against the 65th in math, among middle schools.
Context — never part of the Scope Score
California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and its two subjects part company here. It puts this school around the 26th percentile of California middle schools in reading and the 65th in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 96th. A gap that size between math and reading in one building is worth asking about directly — one year of data can't tell you whether it is the teaching, the cohort, or noise.
— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California middle school lands at −1 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −8 and +6 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

— 2 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit
Ask whether the pattern holds for other cohorts and how the school tracks each child’s progress. One aggregate comparison does not establish a cause or a lasting trend.
- Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Weimar Hills a good middle school?
Weimar Hills has a Scope Score of 52 out of 100, placing it in the 80th percentile of California middle schools and ranked #433 statewide. 19.1% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is near the California average of 17.2%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 6-to-8 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Weimar Hills's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 45.4% of students at Weimar Hills met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 19.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 26.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 19.1% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 424 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Weimar Hills rank in California?
Weimar Hills ranks #433 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 80th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G6 → 2025 G8), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Weimar Hills getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Weimar Hills that cohort is 2023 G6 → 2025 G8, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California middle schools — roughly the 96th percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the middle Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Weimar Hills?
15.6% of students at Weimar Hills are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 6.4%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Weimar Hills compare to other schools in Weimar?
Weimar Hills scores 52/100 (80th percentile) among California middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 388 students. Use the schools in Weimar page or the map view to compare all middle schools nearby.
How does Weimar Hills serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Weimar Hills in Weimar, 35.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 36.6% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Weimar Hills trails its district average for low-income students by 1.1 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (31.9% Math proficient); White students (51.8% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 32.4 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 138 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25
Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 6 to grade 8. The test levels clear the state's too.
The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 73 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
